Patent number: 9083111Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are described for coupling electronic devices with docking stations. In one aspect, a coupling system comprises a first material in the docking station and a second material in the electronic device. The first material and the second material may each comprise at least one magnet and/or at least one ferromagnetic material that interact magnetically to align the electronic device in an appropriate position with respect to the docking station. The docking station comprises a first set of electrical contacts and the electronic device comprises a second set of electrical contacts. When in the appropriate position, the first set of electrical contacts electrically couples with the second set of electrical contacts. The shapes of the first and second electrical contacts, and the polarities of the magnets/ferromagnetic materials, may be configured to facilitate electrical coupling while avoiding mismatching of the positive/negative terminals of the electrical contacts.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Qwest Communications International Inc.Inventors: Peter Riering-Czekalla, Afshin Mehin, Elger Oberwelz, Adam Vollmer, James Yurchenco, Matthew Robert Adams, Andrew Switky

Patent number: 9003306Abstract: Solutions for providing integrated media services, e.g., in the context of communications services offered through a user supersystem configured as an interactive graphical communications hub. For example, interactions with a messaging interface may provide access to media creation functionality, including doodle functionality, in the context of the messaging and/or in the context of other media. In one implementation, the communications interface allows a user to doodle in the context of an image file (e.g., a photo) while in the context of a chat application.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Qwest Communications International Inc.Inventors: Afshin Frederick Mehin, Valentina Venza, Suzanne Gibbs Howard, Astrid van der Flier, Elger Oberwelz, Nicholas Zambetti, Jesse Tane, Katrin B.

Patent number: 8819566Abstract: Solutions for providing context-driven communications mode determinations. Some such solutions use a communications hub located in a home (e.g., a user supersystem) to facilitate context-driven, multi-modal communications. For example, a tablet system may be used as a graphical communications hub in a family's home, used by the family to communicate to and from the home via multiple communications modes (e.g., family chat, family activities, user-based messaging, etc.) over one or more communications channels. Determination of an appropriate mode for communications may be driven by contextual (rather that channel-based) factors relating to the communications.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Qwest Communications International Inc.Inventors: Afshin Frederick Mehin, Valentina Venza, Suzanne Gibbs Howard, Astrid van der Flier, Elger Oberwelz, Nicholas Zambetti, Jesse Tane, Katrin B.

Patent number: 8763262Abstract: A measuring tool is used to measure the shape of a person's body. The tool has a belt and at least one measuring tape attached, which extends perpendicularly to the belt. The tool is held to the person's waist with the belt. While the person is standing, shape measurements are typically made at one or more points based on the measuring tape. This measuring tape extends a length sufficient to include the person's seat and hip, where the shape will be measured, but will generally not be as long as the person's leg or long enough to touch the ground.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2011Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Levi Strauss & Co.Inventors: Susan C. Smith-Habelow, Meghan Donnelly Hetke, Eric Thompson, Bill Smith, Alexandra Levin, Judy Guo, Purin Phanichphant, Jesse Amos Silver, Peter Riering-Czekalla, Gina Lynn Romero, Candice Patricia Tillitt
